Garrison Threatened The German garrison at Po maja thus was threatened on two sides, and the nazi force at La jatico was in much the same po sition. There were growing indica tions that it likely would be a matter of many days before the allies batter their way even to contact with the main Gothic line defenses. The most impressive gains re ported for yesterday's operations were the eighth army's penetra-; Uon to the villages of Castel Dt Broglio and San Regelo, nine miles northeast of Siena; a thrust by other eighth army units five miles beyond Carpini in the up per Tiber valley: and the steady smash of the Americans to a point-six -miles north of Vol terra. .- None of these gains, however, made a substantial alteration in the tactical situation. Poles in the Adriatic sector occupied Monte Folesco and Vil- lanova,. some 14 miles inland and 12 to 14 miles southwest of An cona, but the front there also was substantially unchanged. . Typical of the fighting in the jrrencn sector norm and nortn west of Siena was a bloody -struggle for Hill 380, half a mile northeast of Ranza. and 17 miles west northwest of Siena.

The president sprang the news ox nis pouueut iiiieuiJVMa uif news conference this morning when a reporter asked him if he had anything to say about the convention. GrinninE. the resident re- nlied that the reporter was only guessing and said this time he was right. Henomlnation Assurea Getting quickly to the cor respondence before him the pres ident read Hannegan's letter saying renomination is assured and replied: "if tne convention snouio carry this out, and nominate me for the presidency, I shall ac cept, if the people elect me. I will serve. The president said, however, that he would not "run" for re election in the accepted political sense out u tne people com mand me to continue in this of fice and in this war, I have as little right to withdraw as the soldier has to leave his post in Doesn t Want to Hun With that statement the Drul- dent was referring to his war time role of commander-in-chief of tne armed forces. For myself, I do not want to run," Mr. Roosevelt said. "By next spring I shall have been president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces for 13 years three times elected by the people of this country under the American constitutional system. "From the personal point of view, I believe that our economic system is one of a sounder, more human basis than it was at the time of my first inauguration. "After many years of public service, therefore, my personal ipuwgnm nave mrnsq to tne day when I could return tn civil All that is within me cries out to go back to my home-on the miason river, to avoifl public responsibilities, and to avoid also the publicity which in our dem ocracy follows every step of the nation's cniei executive." No Comment On Albany, N. Y., Governor Thomas E. Dewey, republican presidential nominee, had no comment on Mr, HooscvtlV statement.) That would be his choice, Mr. Roosevelt said, but he assured Hannegan he would forego it if the convention drafted him and the people elected hint for an- otner term. Mr. Roosevelt made na men. tion of the second place on the ticket and the status ot Vice Pres mem vvauacc remained uncian fied. Wallace told reporters last nignt alter a two-hour confer ence with the president, that their convrs.t!on dealt solely with China, from where the vice pieaiaeiu nas juit returned. FDR Decision News to Wife WASHINGTON, July U () Reports circulated today that .-resident itooseveit nas decided to indicate publicly that Henry nauace u ins cnoice tor renom ination as vice president. How Mr. Roosevelt might make known his views was not indicated. The same political sources said that a public ex pression for Wallace did not mean the president would at tempt to dictate a choice to the convention meeting in Chicago July 19. The opinion in democratic cir cles continued to be that the president, beyond making his opinion known, would leave choice of a vice-presidential run ning mate entirely to the con. ventlon.

German re sistance was stiffening in the Caen sector. Troops of Lt.-Gen. Omar N. Bradley's first nrmy driving on St. Lo reached the outsklrtu of Luzerne and Mesnil-Rozclln, just north ot tho city. Coordinated Attacks The attack was coordinated from the north and northwest of St. Lo. Fall of that city of 15.000 would force a Gorman withdrawal from the remainder of the Cherbourg peninsula, and nazi lines were under steady, heavy pressure along a front curving 40 miles to the sea. The attack opened after hun dreds of field guns bellowed steadily for hours, wrecking German hedgehog positions and numbing the nerves of even some of the most fanatical nazis holding tho lino. Doughboys Advance Other doughboys advanced one to two miles elsewhere on the front winding across Cher bourg peninsula, making flank penetrations threatening to force a German withdrawal southward along the peninsula's west coast. The German radio asserted that German troops had pene trated La Haye du Puits, strate gic road center captured by the American first army Sunday, 54.000 Prisoners Gen. Sir Bernard L. Mont gomery, allied ground comman der in France, declared 54,000 Erisoners have been taken since i-Day, and told his American-British-Canadian forces that much has been achieved with definite and concrete gains. "We are firm and secure," he asserted. Bad weather and strengthen ing German resistance slowed the British second army assault in the Caen sector, and heavy fighting flamed south of the Odon and Orne rivers. The Ger mans forced the British to with draw to the north of Maltot, a town four miles southwest of Caen. Costly Price A costly price still was be ing exacted of the enemy, and a British headquarters officer estimated 30 to 35 nazi tanks had been knocked out on the front southwest of Caen. The German position west of the Orne appeared hopeless in the long run, but the fanatical nazi opposition against the drive of both the British and the Canadians was forcing the fighting line back temporarily in some spots and limiting firogress to a few hundred yards n others. Part of the loss of power of Montgomery's punch was caused by bad weather, which made it impossible for the allied air force to put in strong, close support. Classified Ads Bring Results.
